The NZAMD American Jazz is an exciting syllabus designed with comprehensive warm ups, stretches, floor work, progressions from corners with turns, kicks and jumps and fun combinations. From grade 4 upwards, students will learn routines in Musical Theatre, Lyrical and Jazz Funk.
Ballet is an important base for most dance disciplines, and the NZAMD Ballet syllabus is designed to be attractive for the once a week student, as well as being progressively challenging for the more committed student.
